ASP.NET MVC AJAX Calendar

Question

I am currently studying ASP.NET MVC and I have been following Stephen Walter's tutorial: ASP.NET MVC Tip # 36 - Create a pop-up calendar assistant .

The calendar works, but I would like to change the date format to dd / mm / yyyy.

Also, can you add the arrows at the top so that the calendar can be changed for both the year and the month?

Answer 1

I know this is probably for training purposes, but a good solution already exists: jQuery UI Datepicker

Answer 2

index.cs

[DataType(DataType.Date)]
public string StartDate { get; set; }

index.cshtml

@Html.EditorFor(m => m.StartDate)
